Wierd Avater Problem
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: dwightfry
Whenever I log on to the forums, My avatar doesn't show up, then I go to my website that I am actually storing it at, and go back to the forums and it works. I don't have the avatar showing anywhere on the site, it's just stored there, along with the pic in my signature, but that seems to always work. What's up?!?! How does that work? Can everyone else see my avatar?

Well I see his sig just fine :)
but no avatar.
maybe the host does not allow remote linking?

it's your host indeed, when i tried to get the file i got this page:
Sorry, but non-html files may only be downloaded if linked to directly from the site hosting them. Please scroll all the way to the bottom of this page where you will find a link to the file you are looking for.

Well, it must work some of the time, he sees my sig pic, and that works the exact same way as the avatar. I am using web1000 for a host, I know they have some messed up problems with other countries. This is wierd, I'll have to fine another host. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was using lycos.co.uk, but they had a bandwidth limit, web1000 doesn't. I'll need at least 50MB space.
@Jonne: If are from another country other than the U.S. and want to test if you can't access web1000 just click on my link in the sig. That may be why you couldn't get the pics.
edit:name type

I know you're talking about free webspace, but there's still PICSTORE (http://galleries.vinyamar.com/ps/), which gives 25mB of free space to host your pics.
When posting a pic on this board you simply add '&ext=.jpg' and it works!
To have 50mB of space you could sign up twice, but don't tell them I told you... ;)
BTW: I can't see your Avatar nor your Signature at the moment.

I am registered, and got the pics uploaded, but I don't know how to use them.
I don't understand what you mean by add '&ext=.jpg', These pics are GIFS, if it helps, there names are ozzyl.gif (Avatar) and nirvana.gif (Sig). How do I use them?

It's not VERY userfriendly, but I know my way around there a bit.
When you have problems with it feel free to PM me, other users as well ofcourse. :P

If the file is a .GIF then you just add '&ext=.gif' on the end of the URL.
Like this (for the JPG file):
http://galleries.vinyamar.com/ps/show.php?...YKZQqr&ext=.jpg (http://galleries.vinyamar.com/ps/show.php?id=n3uNqDNzTT8Dt1vcBJQYKZQqr&ext=.jpg)

Yep, now ozzy can live in constant terror. For anyone who doesn't recognize it, I made the GIF from the new Pepsi twist commercial where his kids turn into the Osmands, LOL.

I saw too late you posted a question about Picstore, but it's already fixed I see.
I like the Ozzy avatar! B) (and I see Kurt as well)
